New evidence today suggests the hospital in Gaza was not hit by an Islamic Jihad rocket, but rather the parking lot adjacent to the structure.
Here’s drone video and photos that show the damage to the parking lot:
The IDF released drone footage showing the Ahli Hospital in Gaza both before and after the explosion overnight.

And we now have footage of the (partially) burnt-out parking lot at the Ahli Hospital in Gaza.
Overall damage to the structures in the complex appears to be limited, a clay-tiled awning adjacent to the parking lot is still mostly intact. pic.twitter.com/Tf0EAUJLR5

There may have been people outside the hospital that died, but it wasn’t the hundreds purported by Hamas. This just goes to show just how far Hamas will go to lie about Israel and how the media will run with the misinformation with no attempt to get the story straight or even show skepticism for the source.
